Fields of Clover

Clover has a special ability that makes it a great asset to yards with poor soil. Its leaves pull nitrogen from the air, fixing the nutrient in its roots and releasing it to fertilize the soil. Because clover stabilizes moisture around the roots, it's a perfect companion for thirsty plants like cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, and squash.
